We took a family trip to Branson. We love that town! Here we are, family picture it the hotel. This cracks me up, Brett looks like he is having fun already! LOL!

We went on the Branson Bell. It was fun. Not as cool as Dixie Stampede but it was worth seeing one time.

Family picture, Jace is just relaxing!

I am not a fan of "wild water" but it was not to bad. No panic attacks so all in all it was a fun trip.

At the Branson Landing! I love that place. I just love to shop!

We checked out Table Rock Dam, it made for some nice pictures!

This is my beautiful Nieces and handsome Nephew!

Pretty girl!

She is so lucky to have such a great Daddy!

We took a ride on the Ducks. They are army vehicles that will drive on land and in water. They drive you all around Branson and you get these duck bill's you can quack at people. They you drive pretty fast down a hill and then into the water. It is kinda freaky because you fell so low in the water. This is on of the view's we had! Beautiful!! It is one of the reasons I love living in the Ozarks!

Here we are in the water. You can see the Branson bell to the side. They are both on Table Rock Lake.

T-Ball

This year Brett, Auntie and I are coaching Maddy's T-ball team. This is Maddy's first year. It has been fun. The kid's are so cute. Some of them will be in Maddy's preschool class. It is great that she is getting to know some of them. We also have some great parent's that are willing to help! I only posted pictures of Maddy. The other parent's may not appreciate their kid's pictures put on the Internet. (these pic's are from 2 different games, one she was wearing t-ball pant's in some and short's in the other)

Wacky Wednesday

Madalyn had her preschool screening on May 10 (I am a little late:). It went well, she done great!

Jacelyn watching sand run off her arm!

Maddy is trying to get something done. I think a melt down happened about 5 seconds after this picture was taken.

Nothing better than a smiling baby!!

Lil' Miss dirty face!

Sweetie!

Sassy!!

Flying high! Daddy was throwing her up in the sky!

"Not me!" Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I thought I would try this out! Really I want to enter to win that fabulous necklace! So here goes...

I did not lose my husbands truck keys 10 minutes before we had to take Madalyn to pre-school screening. Why would I do such a thing? No, not me!
I did not lock the keys in my car at the post office, even though I have keyless entry. That would be insane. Almost like I was trying to lock myself out so I could stand on the sidewalk for 15 minutes waiting for my husband. My husband was not using the spare set of keys in his truck because I would have never lost the first set. No, not me! We did not have to call a lock smith and pay $30 because I am responsible and I have a 2nd set of keys for my car.

It would have just added a cherry on top if I had to drive to my MIL house to get our spare house key because the 2nd truck key does not have a house key on the ring. That would have been bad but good thing it did not happen!

Maddy's party

Maddy had a great Birthday party. We planned to have it at Mammoth Spring park but it was so cold and windy! Auntie hooked us up with the elementary school gym. It was lots of fun with all of the gym toys and we had a pinata. 48 people came, good thing we did not have it at our house because that would have not worked. I made her cake this year. Maddy has been doing ballet for about a year. It was kinda hard to find ballerina themed b-day stuff. Her cake turned out adorable. The picture is kinda dark.

5 years and counting

Our 5 anniversary was on the 17th. My lovely Mother in Law came to our house and stayed with our little Princesses for 2 days so Brett and I could go to Branson for our Anniversary. It was fun but quiet. We ate at Lamberts on the way up there and on the way home. Yeah, I guess you could say we like the place :)! We went to see the Sojhi Tabochie show, done a bunch of shopping (yippie for outlet malls). We actually paid to ride on a train! Can you believe that? Brett could not believe I convinced him to do it. He feel asleep during the ride. Now I know what he does at work. I have the pictures to prove it! We went to table rock Dam and stole a anniversary rock. Seriously they have the coolest BIG rocks. I asked Brett "Do you think we can take one?" So he grabed a large rock put it under his arm at took off running. I laughed so hard. I have the pictures to prove it...Not a dull moment with Brett :)



We are on our way!

Yum, Yum, We heart Lamberts!

Night Before Maddy's Bday (April 1)

(Turn your head sideways for this picture)
I put streamers on Maddy's door and balloons in her room the night before her Birthday (while she was sleeping) In the middle of the night she demanded the streamers be removed because the blocked her light. The next morning she loved all of the balloons. She thought the neighbor boy left them for her! WHAT? He better not be EVER leaving you balloons! LOL!

Movie Night (March 27)

We had movie night and watched Madagascar 2. We had cake and them Maddy almost fell asleep! It was fun!

our bird house's (March 23)

We bought bird house's in Jonesboro. Maddy enjoyed painting them and Daddy hung them in the tree!


This one is Maddy's!














This one in Mine!

shopping trip (March 23)

We went to Jonesboro for a shopping trip. We forgot the stroller and poor Jace had to walk all around the mall. She enjoyed it! In Children's Place Maddy asked for some sunglasses. So I purchased a pair for both of the girls thinking Jace would break them or throw 'em. That crazy girl wore them all around the mall. People were pointing and laughing at her. How many 17 month old toddler's walk around with sunglasses on? She even wore them home (and still wears them at times)
